Reborn in the 1980s, starting with fishing and hunting to build a fortune

Chapter 125 Face

With many hands making light work, Liu Qiang was quickly carried back to the Liu family home.

By this time, the Liu family's house was already surrounded by people, mostly neighbors and relatives.

Of course, they were mostly women; the men had all gone out to look for Liu Qiang and hadn't returned yet.

In those days, they didn't have cell phones, pagers, or other communication devices, so there was no way to notify them that Liu Qiang had been found. They could only ask the brigade to help broadcast the news.

In this way, the whole team knew about Liu's little trouble.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Grandma Wang Guiying was also at the Liu family's house. They had been neighbors for decades, and with such a big event happening in the Liu family, she was bound to come and see if there was anything she could help with.

Fortunately, before Liu Qiang entered the house, someone ran over to tell them that Liu Qiang was covered in sheep's blood, not his own. Otherwise, when Liu Qiang, covered in blood, was carried into the hospital, several people would have fainted on the spot.

After Liu Qiang was carried into the house, he was placed on the warm kang (heated brick bed) and covered with a thick cotton quilt.

A moment later, Dr. Huang, the only barefoot doctor in the team, also rushed over in a hurry.

He examined Liu Qiang thoroughly three times, inside and out, and found that apart from being frightened, Liu Qiang was actually fine.

There was no frostbite or necrosis on the limbs.

His body temperature has returned to normal.

It's nothing short of a miracle that it happened in such a short time.

After asking around, they learned that it was Li Xiangyang who had performed the first aid, and they were full of praise for it.

"Xiangyang, how did you do this first aid?"

Based on your description, when you saw Liu Qiang, he was already in a state of moderate hypothermia and his consciousness was beginning to blur. Even for us professional medical staff, this would be a very difficult problem to handle!

What first aid methods did you use? By this time, color had returned to Liu Qiang's face.

I just checked his temperature, and it's basically normal. There's no necrosis or frostbite on his limbs either. It's truly a miracle.

Dr. Huang held Li Xiangyang's hand, very excited.

Only then did the Liu family realize that Liu Qiang had just been in such danger!

When they found Li Xiangyang and the others, they saw that Liu Qiang could speak and his breath was steaming. They assumed that Liu Qiang had just sprained his ankle and couldn't walk back, so he had been cold for a while.

The whole family wanted to kneel down before Li Xiangyang and his brother again, but Li Xiangdong stopped them with lightning speed.

"No, absolutely not!"

He was somewhat annoyed; why did the Liu family like to kneel so much?

A verbal thank you would suffice.

"Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, now that Liu Qiang is alright, my brother and I will head back." Li Xiangyang stood up to say goodbye.

"Sister-in-law Guiying, Xiangyang, Xiangdong, why don't you stay for a meal before you leave!"

Father Liu tugged at the hem of Li Xiangyang's clothes and extended a warm invitation.

"No need, Lao Liu, we've been neighbors for decades, no need to be so polite. I prepared a meal before I came over. The important thing for you to do now is to take good care of Liu Qiang."

Wang Guiying refused. The Liu family was in complete chaos, so how could she and her two children possibly stay for a meal?

"Alright, alright, since Sister Guiying has said so, then I'll bring Liu Qiang to thank you in person another day when he's better."

With tears in her eyes, Liu's mother said in a trembling voice.

At this moment, Wang Guiying also held Liu's mother's hands tightly.

"Sigh, we've been neighbors for decades, why are you thanking me!"

If you have any free time, just come over to my place for a cup of milk tea and a chat.

As expected of the Li family's top public relations manager, she can spout pretty words without batting an eye.

They handled interpersonal relationships with just the right touch.

Even Li Xiangyang was completely convinced.

After saying that, Wang Guiying took her two beloved sons home.

As they walked into the courtyard, just as Li Xiangdong was about to leave with the gazelle on his shoulder, Li Xiangyang suddenly remembered something, gave Li Xiangdong a wink, and left one of the female gazelles behind.

Liu Qiang is an extremely proud man. This time, he went hunting but didn't catch a single prey and almost died outside. Moreover, the whole village knew about it.

When he wakes up, needless to say, he will definitely think that it would be better to just end it all.

"Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, I forgot to tell you."

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Li Xiangyang carried a yellow sheep back into the house: "This yellow sheep was lying under Liu Qiang when we saw him. I think he must have shot it."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room turned to look at the yellow sheep on Li Xiangyang's body.

"A gazelle? Liu Qiang actually hunted a gazelle!"

"If that's the case, then it's somewhat justifiable. The person was injured, but at least they managed to kill a gazelle, so it's not too much of a loss."

"Oh my, it seems Liu Qiang isn't so bad after all. He at least managed to hunt a gazelle. The two Li brothers each hunted one, and he hunted one too."

The crowd began to whisper among themselves.

As Liu Qiang lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), his nose tingled, and a hot tear silently streamed down his cheek.

If there weren't too many people in the room and he wasn't too embarrassed to get up, he would have really thought of getting up and kowtowing to Li Xiangyang!

Mr. and Mrs. Liu were stunned for a moment. Mr. Liu suddenly realized that Li Xiangyang was putting on a show for their Liu family.

Extremely excited, he quickly grasped Li Xiangyang's hand and said, "Sigh, Liu Qiang's life was saved by you and Xiangdong, this yellow sheep should be given to you."

Liu Qiang's two older sisters exchanged a glance, somewhat reluctant. Was it too extravagant for their father to give away a yellow sheep all at once?

That's a whole gazelle...

"Uncle Liu, Liu Qiang risked his life to get this, how could my brother and I accept it?"

Li Xiangyang smiled awkwardly, put the gazelle down, and left.

This act has to be done completely, otherwise it will look too fake.

Moreover, with so many eyes watching, how could he dare to take away the yellow sheep that Liu Qiang risked his life for? Otherwise, his Li family would be criticized by others.

They were branded with stigmas such as greed and arrogance.

After you and the others have left, you can secretly return it, or you can give it back as cash.

The herdsmen who helped carry Liu Qiang back exchanged glances but remained silent.

They all knew what was going on, but none of them revealed it.

I thought to myself, this Li family kid is righteous and knows how to get along with people.

Li Xiangdong witnessed the whole thing and knew that Li Xiangyang was doing this out of consideration for the Liu family's reputation, so he didn't say anything.

Anyway, it's just a gazelle, which isn't a big deal for the Li family right now.

The three of them had just stepped out of Liu's courtyard when Dr. Huang from the team chased after them.

"Xiangyang, Xiangyang, wait for me."

"What's wrong, Dr. Huang?"

"Could you please explain in detail the first aid measures you took for Liu Qiang this afternoon?"

Dr. Huang is one of the few people in the team who was able to graduate from junior high school.

After graduation, he was sent by the team to the commune clinic for six months of training before returning to the team to work as a barefoot doctor. He was a very studious person.

"Dr. Huang, it would take quite a while to explain this in detail. How about I come to the brigade clinic to see you another day?"

Li Xiangyang refused.

After a busy afternoon, the two brothers were exhausted and had no energy left to talk to him about these things.

"Okay, you absolutely have to come over another day, or I'll come to your house to find you."

If your method works, I'll promote it immediately; it could save many lives.

I'll get you a banner then!
